[[File:LSE main entrance.jpg|thumb|Old Building|left]]

Since 1902, LSE has been based at [[Clare Market]] and Houghton Street (first syllable pronounced "How")<ref> the LSE </ref> in [[City of Westminster|Westminster]]. It is surrounded by a number of important institutions including the [[Royal Courts of Justice]], all four [[Inns of Court]]s, [[Royal College of Surgeons]], [[Sir John Soane's Museum]], and the [[West End of London|West End]] is immediately across [[Kingsway, London|Kingsway]] from campus, which also borders the [[City of London]] and is within walking distance to [[Trafalgar Square]] and the [[Houses of Parliament]].

In 1920, [[George V|King George V]] laid the foundation of the Old Building. The campus now occupies an almost continuous group of around 30 buildings between [[Kingsway, London|Kingsway]] and [[Aldwych]]. Alongside teaching and academic space, the institution owns 11 student halls of residence across London, a West End theatre (the [[Peacock Theatre|Peacock]]), early years centre, [[National Health Service|NHS]] medical centre and extensive sports ground in Berrylands, south London. LSE operates the George IV public house<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/services/catering/outlets|title=Restaurants and cafes on campus|publisher=London School of Economics|access-date=2020-04-22|archive-date=24 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200624224409/https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/services/catering/outlets|url-status=live}}</ref> and the students' union operates the Three Tuns bar.<ref>{{cite web|title=Food and drink|url=https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/estates-division/facilities-guide/food-and-drink|access-date=26 May 2021|website=London School of Economics and Political Science|archive-date=7 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507110757/https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/estates-division/facilities-guide/food-and-drink|url-status=live}}</ref> The school's campus is noted for its numerous public art installations, which include [[Richard Wilson (sculptor)|Richard Wilson]]'s ''Square the Block'',<ref>{{cite web|title=LSE unveils new Richard Wilson sculpture, Square the Block|url=http://www.lse.ac.uk/website-archive/newsAndMedia/news/archives/2009/09/RichardWilson.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200719131847/http://www.lse.ac.uk/website-archive/newsAndMedia/news/archives/2009/09/RichardWilson.aspx|archive-date=19 July 2020|access-date=8 December 2013|website=London School of Economics and Political Science|publisher=London School of Economics}}</ref> Michael Brown's ''Blue Rain'',<ref>{{cite web|title=Blue Rain at LSE|url=http://www.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/news/archives/2009/08/Bluerain.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212040015/http://www.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/news/archives/2009/08/Bluerain.aspx|archive-date=12 December 2013|access-date=8 December 2013|website=London School of Economics and Political Science}}</ref> [[Christopher Le Brun]]'s ''Desert Window'',<ref>{{cite web|title=Stained Glass Window: Christopher Le Brun's Sacred Desert Window|url=https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/Faith-Centre/Faith-Centre-Spaces/Stained-Glass-WIndow|access-date=26 May 2021|website=London School of Economics and Political Science|publisher=London School of Economics|archive-date=26 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210526105155/https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/Faith-Centre/Faith-Centre-Spaces/Stained-Glass-WIndow|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Turner Prize]]-winner [[Mark Wallinger]]'s ''[[The World Turned Upside Down (sculpture)|The World Turned Upside Down]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |author=London School of Economics and Political Science |title="The World Turned Upside Down" – LSE unveils new sculpture by Mark Wallinger |url=https://www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-news-from-LSE/2019/03-Mar-19/LSE-unveils-new-sculpture-by-Mark-Wallinger.aspx |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=London School of Economics and Political Science |date=26 March 2019 |language=en-GB |archive-date=10 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710220804/https://www.lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-news-from-LSE/2019/03-Mar-19/LSE-unveils-new-sculpture-by-Mark-Wallinger |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author=Contemporary Art Society |date=2019-03-26 |title="The World Turned Upside Down" – LSE unveils new sculpture by Mark Wallinger, managed by CAS Consultancy |url=https://www.contemporaryartsociety.org/news/cas-news/world-turned-upside-lse-unveils-new-sculpture-mark-wallinger-managed-cas-consultancy/ |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=Contemporary Art Society |language=en-US |archive-date=24 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220524024601/https://www.contemporaryartsociety.org/news/cas-news/world-turned-upside-lse-unveils-new-sculpture-mark-wallinger-managed-cas-consultancy/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger unveils new public work, The World Turned Upside Down |url=https://www.itsnicethat.com/news/mark-wallinger-the-world-turned-upside-down-lse-art-260319 |access-date=2022-03-30 |website=itsnicethat.com |language=en |archive-date=12 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812215652/https://www.itsnicethat.com/news/mark-wallinger-the-world-turned-upside-down-lse-art-260319 |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:Centre Building, LSE from LSE Square.jpg|thumb|left|Centre Building, opened in 2019]]
Since the early 2000s, the campus has undergone an extensive refurbishment project and a major fund-raising "Campaign for LSE" raised over £100 million in what was one of the largest university fund-raising exercises outside North America. This process began with the £35 million renovation of the [[British Library of Political and Economic Science]] by [[Foster and Partners]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=New British Library of Political and Economic Science at the LSE Opens |publisher=Foster + Partners |url=https://www.fosterandpartners.com/news/archive/2001/07/new-british-library-of-political-and-economic-science-at-the-lse-opens/ |access-date=2022-03-30 |language=en |archive-date=18 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220118050540/https://www.fosterandpartners.com/news/archive/2001/07/new-british-library-of-political-and-economic-science-at-the-lse-opens/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:NABuilding.JPG|thumb|right|The Cheng Kin Ku Building (CKK) houses the LSE Law School and the Department of Geography and Environment.]]
In 2003, LSE purchased the former Public Trustee building at 24 Kingsway and engaged [[Nicholas Grimshaw|Sir Nicholas Grimshaw]] to redesign it into an ultra-modern educational facility at a total cost of over £45 million – increasing the size of the campus by {{convert|120000|sqft|m2}}. The New Academic Building opened for teaching in October 2008, with an official opening by [[Elizabeth II|Her Majesty the Queen]] and the [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|Duke of Edinburgh]] on 5 November 2008.<ref name="New Academic Building">{{cite web|title=New Academic Building|url=http://www2.lse.ac.uk/intranet/LSEServices/estatesDivision/lseEstate/campusBuildings/newAcademicBuilding/Home.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925071401/http://www2.lse.ac.uk/intranet/LSEServices/estatesDivision/lseEstate/campusBuildings/newAcademicBuilding/Home.aspx|archive-date=25 September 2012|access-date=24 August 2012|website=London School of Economics and Political Science|publisher=London School of Economics}}</ref> In November 2009 the school purchased the adjacent Sardinia House to house three academic departments and the nearby Old White Horse public house, before acquiring the freehold of the grade-II listed [[HM Land Registry|Land Registry Building]] at [[32 Lincoln's Inn Fields]] in October 2010, which was reopened in March 2013 by [[The Princess Royal]] as the new home for the Department of Economics, [[International Growth Centre]] and its associated economic research centres. In 2015, LSE brought its ownership of buildings on [[Lincoln's Inn Fields]] to six, with the purchase of 5 Lincoln's Inn Fields on the north side of the square, which has since been converted into faculty accommodation.<ref>{{cite web |title=5 Lincoln's Inn Fields faculty accommodation |url=https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/services/faculty-accommodation/property-portfolio/five-lincolns-inn-fields |access-date=22 January 2018 |publisher=London School of Economics |language=en-gb |archive-date=23 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180123131515/https://info.lse.ac.uk/staff/services/faculty-accommodation/property-portfolio/five-lincolns-inn-fields |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Saw Swee Hock Student Centre===

=== Sustainability ===
